Subject: [iproute PATCH] ip netns: Make sure netns name is sane

In order to keep track of created netns, 'ip netns' creates a mount
point inside NETNS_RUN_DIR. By not checking the user-specified name, it
allowed to create that mount point outside of NETNS_RUN_DIR and hence
lose track of it afterwards:

| # ip netns add ../../tmp/foobar
| # ip netns list
| # mount | grep foobar
| nsfs on /tmp/foobar type nsfs (rw)

Prevent this by making sure basename() does not see a need to alter the
given netns name.

Fixes: 0dc34c7713bb7 ("iproute2: Add processless network namespace support")
